Standard A/C Service Including Disinfection – Dacia Duster (2017)
A 2017 Dacia Duster arrived at our workshop needing a complete air-conditioning service, including disinfection of the entire system. When the vehicle was checked in, we carried out an initial inspection of airflow, the condition of the cabin filter, and a basic test of compressor operation to determine the correct service procedure.
This visit also included one specific detail that required us to pay extra attention to certain parts of the system.
Below you’ll find a description of the entire service and answers to the most common questions people search for regarding A/C maintenance.
On the 2017 Dacia Duster, we performed a complete A/C service, starting with replacing the cabin filter and thoroughly cleaning the air ducts. This was followed by evaporator disinfection, which is often the most common source of unpleasant odors and mold formation.
We used a professional disinfectant that eliminates bacteria and microorganisms settled in the ventilation system. We then topped up the system and checked the refrigerant level, system tightness, and proper compressor function.
After completing the work, we verified the vent outlet temperature, airflow, and overall A/C performance in different operating modes, so the vehicle was once again ready to provide a comfortable and healthy cabin environment.
Most Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is it important to disinfect the air conditioning regularly?
During operation, moisture, dust, and microorganisms build up in the A/C system and can cause odors or allergic reactions. Disinfecting the evaporator and ventilation ducts significantly improves cabin air quality and helps prevent bacteria from multiplying. Regular A/C service also protects the compressor and other parts of the system from clogging.
2. How often should the A/C in a Dacia Duster be serviced?
It’s a good idea to service the air conditioning at least once a year. Regular replacement of the cabin filter and checking the refrigerant are also recommended. On a Dacia Duster (2017), it’s worth paying attention to the A/C more often if the car is used in dusty conditions or if unwanted smells appear inside the cabin.
3. How can I tell if the A/C isn’t working properly?
Common signs include weaker cooling, fluctuating temperature, an unpleasant smell after switching it on, fogged-up windows, or a louder blower fan. If the A/C cools less than it used to, the issue could be a refrigerant leak or a problem with the evaporator. In that case, it’s best to have the system checked by a professional.
After completing the service, we tested the Dacia Duster (2017) in different airflow modes and confirmed that the air conditioning is running cleanly, quietly, and efficiently. If your vehicle needs a professional A/C service including disinfection, we’ll be happy to provide the same precise care for you as well.
